Abstract

Current software development practices are transforming the governance and management of software projects with the objective of aligning software products/services with business needs, ensuring business continuity, optimizing resource allocation, and fostering strong stakeholder relationships. The innovative BizDevOps approach has emerged as a response to these challenges, since it extends DevOps by incorporating an additional cycle and involving non-IT stakeholders with a focus on business-IT alignment. The application of IT Governance practices is crucial as regards ensuring the success of complex BizDevOps projects, and this paper, therefore, presents a systematic mapping study that explores the approaches for BizDevOps and encourages DevOps proposals that will seamlessly integrate with the business lifecycle. It examines the support provided by IT Governance practices and investigates the potential roles of Enterprise Architecture. The study analyzed 86 primary studies and 11 secondary studies, revealing a lack of empirical validations and a prevalence of recommendation-oriented papers without concrete solution proposals. These findings highlight the need for further research with which to validate BizDevOps practices and provide actionable insights.

支持 BizDevOps 方法的企业架构和 IT 治理：系统映射研究

当前的软件开发实践正在改变软件项目的治理和管理，其目标是使软件产品/服务与业务需求保持一致，确保业务连续性，优化资源分配，并培养牢固的利益相关者关系。创新的 BizDevOps 方法就是为了应对这些挑战而出现的，因为它扩展了 DevOps，增加了一个周期，并让非 IT 利益相关者参与其中，重点关注业务与 IT 的一致性。IT 治理实践的应用对于确保复杂的 BizDevOps 项目取得成功至关重要，因此，本文介绍了一项系统的映射研究，该研究探讨了 BizDevOps 的方法，并鼓励提出与业务生命周期无缝集成的 DevOps 建议。本文探讨了 IT 治理实践提供的支持，并调查了企业架构的潜在作用。该研究分析了 86 项主要研究和 11 项辅助研究，发现缺乏经验验证，而且普遍存在以建议为导向的论文，没有具体的解决方案建议。这些发现凸显了进一步研究的必要性，以验证 BizDevOps 实践并提供可行的见解。

期刊介绍： The interdisciplinary interfaces of Information Systems (IS) are fast emerging as defining areas of research and development in IS. These developments are largely due to the transformation of Information Technology (IT) towards networked worlds and its effects on global communications and economies. While these developments are shaping the way information is used in all forms of human enterprise, they are also setting the tone and pace of information systems of the future. The major advances in IT such as client/server systems, the Internet and the desktop/multimedia computing revolution, for example, have led to numerous important vistas of research and development with considerable practical impact and academic significance. While the industry seeks to develop high performance IS/IT solutions to a variety of contemporary information support needs, academia looks to extend the reach of IS technology into new application domains. Information Systems Frontiers (ISF) aims to provide a common forum of dissemination of frontline industrial developments of substantial academic value and pioneering academic research of significant practical impact.
